Dominion Securities Corp. Ltd ... at a profit to the town of about $2625. The debentures were bought by tender at $100,875 per $100 bond.Three projects are covered by the bond issue—new Alex­andra hospital, $95,000; addition to Princess Elizabeth school, $105,000, and completion of the sewage system and new pavement $100,000.“The significant -thing about this sale,” suggested Mr. Morrison, chairman of the finance committee, "is that it shows folks still have confidence in our town. These gentlemen of the financial house make very exhaustive studies before they put their money anywhere. The fact they have taken our debentures at such a nice price shows that we are still in the clear.” Town Clerk R. E. Winlaw read an invitation from Windsor's clerk for Ingersoll representatives to attend a meeting in London municipal offices Dee. 15 on a proposed new two-way highway to the border. Commissioner W.

Station Fireman Thomas Landick. of London, jumped for his life near the QN.R. station yesterday, when his ongine sideswiped another just mov­ing out from a siding. Landick wound up in Alexandra Hospital with slight injuries. An east-bound freight under En­gineer A- Phillips, of London, had waited on the siding until a passen­ ger flyer had passed. He was just moving out when Landick's train, also east-bound and driven by Tom Collins of London, came by and sideswiped it. Neither train was going fast and damage was slightLandick leaped just before the two hit, walked a way to the station, collapsed, then was rushed to hos­ pital by Walker ambulance. He was attended by Dr. H- G. Furlong. Says Rev. George W. Murdoch, Bobby’s father: "We were very, very lucky, but I hope this will serve as a warning to other parents. Luckily, Bobby suffered only a cut and a real scare. It is dangerous for kiddies to be on the streets sleighing. Trucks just can’t stop in time.”“It scared the heart out of me,” said Bob Taylor. "I don’t know where he came from yet. I always keep my eye onen for children in this weather. Luckily I was almost stopped and I heard the others crying. At first I couldn’t figure where he was, then I saw him under my truck. I wan plenty scared and grabbed him by the leg and pulled him out But, gosh, if I'd been going along at any speed at all the back wheels would have gone right over him.” DISKING CLUB St. James'-Disking club held their weekly games in the Pariah Hall Dee. «, winners being: J.

E. Winlaw, who said the percentage was 36.828, as compared with 49 per cent, last year. While 2185 ratepayers could have voted on the school question, only 990 did. ,The school went down to overwhelming defeat. While in town nayes only nicely edged out the yeahs, in the country the vote was almost solid against it The total vote was: FOR—560; AGAINST—1082.In the council race, Glenn Topham who ran fifth last year/ headed the polls this year. Then came Fred Wurker, running for re-election, and then Norman Pembleton, president of the' Ratepayers’ Association. Topham’s vote last year was 496; this year, 838. Leo Ranger, seeking a second two-year term, was defeated. The voters said no to continuance of the two-year term for councillors. The question went to the people at the request of the Ratepayers’ Association. The one-year term does not take effect until 1951. Lack of a mayoralty campaign was said one reason for the light vote. One lady who made sure she got out, though, was Mrs. F. W. Waters, who is over 80.

Strikes Out Hank Biassatti At Y’s Men’s Ball Banquet LARGE SNOW MAN WELCOMES GUESTS The L.A. to the Canadian Legion had a successful tea npd bazaar Nov. 30. President, Mrs. J. Wallace and past president Mrs. I. Karn wel­comed guests at the door with Mrs. E.' Pitcher and Mrs. J. Clayton show­ing the guests through their rooms. The tea table was lovely, to Christ­mas style. A large snewmaa just in­side the front door with a welcome sign, was also attractive. Those pouring tea were past presidents Mrs. S. Smith, Mrs. Alsop and Mrs. F. Cussons, and Mrs. A.

Even Hank Biassatti, guest speaker when the Y's Men’s Club feted members of the OBA juvenile entry they sponsored in a father- and-son banquet in St Paul's Pres­byterian Church basement, was floored by one question; “How”, asked Ron tMassey, the team's catcher, "can a team get four walks, six stolen bases and no runs in one frame?" Hank didn't know, Jarrett, captain of the team, and a film of the World Series was shown after the meeting was over.Alt.

It was unavoidable that bats, . balls, uniforms, masks and every­thing else that goes to make up a ball game would be seen some time or other. Sure enough, they were seen, when the Y's Men’s quartette, Dave Campbell, Ross Hurst, Bill ERIoU and Dave Butler, got up on the stage and gave out with "Take , Me Out to the Ball Game", dressed in full uniform and equipment. They'd never have made the team, though, because of three pitches Dave threw to Ross while they were singing, two went wild and the third stopped before it reached him. Less one player, Doug.

Three Deer Die On Road As Bus And Truck Pass Three deer were killed on thehighway near Dorchester Tuesday night when they ran out between a bus and truck going in opposite dir­ections. Apparently the animals be­came confused and virtually commit­ted suicide. W. R. "Joe”, Owen was the bu« driver. The accident happened around 6:30 p.m. Ingersoll hunters who went hundreds of miles and didn't even see a deer are said to be clenching their teeth in disappoint­ ment, and planning trips next year nearer homb. Staggered Classes Seen Possibility As School Canned “We have done our duty in bring­ing conditions at the collegiate before the electors, and we are satisfied to accept their verdict and do the best we can with our limited facilities.” This was the comment of R, W. Green, chairman of the Collegiate Institute board of Ingersoll district, after the voters rejected the pro­posed >531,000 high school Monday."It is a problem that eventually will have to be solved, and it can be done in no other way. I imagine that most voters in the town just felt they couldn't afford a new school now.""The situation will become critical in a year or two,” said principal J. C. Herbert, “and something will have to be done. In the meantime, however, the pupils and teachers will carry on to the best of their ability under pre­sent conditions. “This fall it may be necessary to curtail the choice of options and in all probability it may be necessary for us to reorganize pur classes or rent additional accommodation.”"I don’t think anyone denies the need of n new school,” said Mayor Dr. J. G. Murray. "I think, however, they inst couldn’t carry such tin extra load at this time.” MRS.

The Ingersoll Tribune is now the most-read newspaper in the area, giving greater coverage at lower cost than any other. Last week’s press run, which included a special TVA num­ ber carrying Ingersoll's name ail over the province, was 2,555 copies. Walt Harvey and Gord Patenson, who were nurse-maiding Miss Canada IV at the Royal Winter Fair, had a big experience—they met the Gov­ernor-General and his party. Vis­ count Alexander inspected the craft thorodghly and asked all kinds of questions, but Walt and Gord were so adither they can’t remember what he said or what they answered.

THURSDAY. DECEMBER 8th. 1949 The Opportunity Was Given To Present Both Sides . The voting is over for a year or BO now, but there is one point we would like to dear up. On at least one occasion during the recent cam­ paign, The Tribune was assailed on a public plat­ form for allegedly presenting only one side of the case in connection with the proposed new high school for this school area. We deny the alienation. The charge arose from a complaint Uof a reeve that we failed to quote him in our report of a rate­ payers' meeting dealing with the school This gentle­ man, while saying he realized a school was needed, felt that the costs would be higher than school board members felt.Our reporter said the only reason he did not quote the reeve was that he couldn't hear him. So, on the Saturday prior to our Dec. 1st issue, we invited the reeve to write The Tribune a letter explaining his views, and it would be published word for word. The reeve DID NOT write the letter. We were very much in favor of the new school and said so. We still think it is badly needed. We think that any newspaper which holds community interests as a basic crted should take a stand on the vital issues affecting the community. Any news­ paper which does not is just fence-sitting, trying to keep in well with everyone, seeking to tread on no one’s toes. It is contributing exactly nothing to the community.But in stating an opinion of our own, we do not try to stifle the opinions of others. The Tribune’s columns are always open to any matter affecting the public interest on which he is voting month by month? If he does not, how is he supposed to represent you? Your job isn't over when you cast your ballot. You have aa much responsibility to make your stand known to your representative ax he has to make his stand known tn parliament. Especially is thia Jhe case today. Government policies and practices play a bigger part In your daily life than ever before. This is a condition which you have approved. You have said that you believe government can do things for you uhieh you cannot do for yourself. But remember the government is only the col­ lective voice of you, and you, and you. And if your voice isn’t heard through your mem­ ber of parliament, it is your own fault if the gov­ ernment does something you don't like. Your member would like to hear from you, by letter, by personal chat He needs and would like your guidance. Speak up, Mr. and Mrs. Citizen. The floor is yours. Notes on the Editox's Pad W’ell give quite * bit for the answer to thia one. For a long time now, just the same as everyone else, some friendw of ours have been telling their young daughter to write and ask Santa Claus each year what she wants for Christmas. Before she learned to write Poppa used to write them for her and when she got to school she wrote them for her­ self. Everything worked very nicely and eaeh year she was tickled pink to find that tho smiling old man had sent her just what she asked for. This year her parents pulled the same one but much to their horror she expressed doubts over Santa's existence. Last week her mother casually asked her if she/wns going to write her letter to Santa Claus. Said the young girl, “Yea, I am." Mother breathed a sigh of relief. “But I’m not going to write it until the night before Christmas and Santa can pick it up when he comes. That way III know if there really is a Santa Claus, won’t 1?" She’s only seven years old, too. Life can be very disappointing Baker. Herb, the lucky chap, Wa Just ask Herb giv< of thanking the ladies of S t James’ Anglic the honor :an church By Not Okaying School Just Postponing Evi! Day The people have spoken, and there will be no new high school for the Ingersoll high school area for at least one more year. z— Frankly, we were surprised that the ratepayers of Ingersoll turned it down because they will never get one any cheaper. But we were not surprised at the overwhelming NAYE vote in the townships, because we fed the need of the school did not even figure in the voting — it was a vote against what they considered an unfair deal. Most disappointed of all, we feel, were the high ’ school students — tig? ones who have to try to achieve a first-rate education under fifth-rate con­ ditions. And many a parent got a straight question from son or daughter DID YOU VOTE FOR IT? The school and its facilities are pretty poor stuff for what is considered an important town. It is true that we are paying for a lot of things right now,- but by turning down the school this time it is simply case of postponing the evil day. The school is really needed. The pinch will begin hurt­ ing next fall when it becomes necessary to send Ingersoll students to Thamesford, and more country pupils back here. Then, as overcrowding becomes worse.— and it will — staggering of classes will have children leaving at fantastic hours and return­ ing by the same. The big fear expressed by educational authorities here is that the government may say that since educational standards are not being maintained in inis area, government assistance will be cut accord­ ingly. THEN school taxes will really rise. They do not say such action is probable — it is possible. To our way of thinking, we owe to every child the finest education that motley can buy to fit him to make his way in a more and more competitive world. The children of Ingersoll and the Ingersoll collegiate district are not getting that right. for preparing and serving the grand dinne\which wa8 a feature of TVA night last Thursday.''Now Herb generally isn’t stage-shy at all, but'tha thought of speaking before so many important people from so many different places brought on a touch of pre­ speech jitters. Firat he'd nibble on his turkey a bit, think of what he had to say, then gulp a bit, then choke, then say the heck with it and takv a peck at his watch and see how many minutes there were before he took the stage, so to speak. So he waited and waited, and one of the best dinners we've had was wasted so far as Herb wa3 concerned. And guess what - they forgot to call op him! But we'll tell the ladies — it was a wonderful dinner, afid the Chamber of Commerce figure'it was one of the best ads the town has had. Make Sure That You Stop And Let Death Go By In almost any newspaper you can, without looking very far, read of people being injured — and all too frequently killed — in c»r accidents. Probably because we see so many of these stories now, we glance at them, say "Tut, tut, another accident," then turn to the comic section to see how late Dag­ wood is for work today. / It is one of our human frailties that we gloss over the unpleasant momenta in life and try only to remember the happier times. Usually, even if we read of someone we know being involved, we are sympathetic, perhaps we may express It personally, and then get into our own car comforted by the self- inflictod knowledge that, “it couldn't happen to us". Until this week-end we doubt if we, ourselves, did any more than what we have just said. Mainly be­ cause it still hadn't happened to us." It takes something too dose for our liking to remind us of the ever present dangers of the high­ ways. We were driving along a through road early x Sunday morning with a car some distance ahead of us when, from an intersection, another car careened out into our lane. It hit the auto ahead of us and threw the driver from the car to his death. Only a few seconds passed before our car reached the intersection. Just a few seconds — maybe ten or twelve — and it could have been our car lying battered on a lawn on the other side of the road. We could have been getting that free ride in that | . nice, shiny, white ambulance! The fadings of the other driver, charged with motor manslaughter, must be indescribable. He had no intention — no thought — of killing anyone^ yet be did. And we wondered how many people could honestly say, *1 could never have been in that posi­tion." •With the volume of traffic increasing as it is Business Girls To Entertain Needy Children Ingersoll's Business Girls' Club is going to make sure that not one Ing- ersoil youngster misses a visit from Banta Claus this year. At their recent meeting the girls decided to get from the police a list of underprivileged youngsters, (about 24 youngsters in all, it turned out), and they are having a Christmas party for the kids at the "Y” December 22. There will be a Christmas tree and Sant* Chua is expected to be there fa person. Each business girl is going to take one youngster under her wing for the evening.Miss Doria Love spoke to the Club at their first supper meeting on the subject of color combinations in interior decorating.“Red", said MIM Love, “is an E.

Responsibility for its depiction ap­peared to be the point at issue. There was exhor­ tations to use restraint In trying to attract American tourists with hunting and fishing attractions. In return it wa» argued that the American tourist was 1,10 "^‘PPing boy” of conservation; that 90 per cent of Americans obey our hunting laws arid are conservation-minded. Supporting this view, Mr. D. Leo Dolan, head of the Dominion Travel Bureau, urged officials to find the facte of game takes and Jaw violations in their provinces, and then either throw the tourist trade over or put an end to these charges.”The ,f?ct that the argument took place underlines recognition to the continued threat to wild life. Our vital question, then, is how to conserve a neutral asset rather than bpw to divide what is left. It is not merely the game bags taken by the Americans vn™,. j,™ adfang.

Beyond those limits they become mere slaughter, wberein wild life is dispatched with the systematic thoroughness of an abattoir, but with none of its precautions of mercy. Our game faces an inevitable handicap as the nations development forces it back into more rugged country where foraging i« scanty. All the more urgency, then, that we take the sternest measures to perpetuate what remains. The prospect of hunt- mg or fishing is what brings many of our tourist visitors. The shrinking wild life population shows the need W0Ik eyerywhere against wanton waste .of life One Provincial official was quoted, for ex­ample, as saying that for every moose killed legally, four or five are killed illegally. Similar figures dobtlcss apply to other game. Stricter enforcement of regulations and sterner penalties are evidently in order, which means larger forces of patrols. Clo- coordination between Provinces may be pos­sible. If such measures are not enough, more ex­ pensive cures, including larger, sanctuaries and closed seasons, will be necessary. It will serve little purpose to apportion praise or blame among Cana­dian and American tourists after the wild life has K°ne.

No Question In Their Minds How To Cut Your Fuel Bill It’s a terrible feeling to have fuel burning merrily in your furnace while you shiver upstairs. In fact, it’s foolish* as well as expensive when yon can do something about it. One afternoon spent tuning up a furnace may cut your fuel bill by 20 per cent. Insulation, weather-strip ping, caulking, and storm windows can save another 20 to 40 per cent.To clean the furnace, first remove the smoke pipe between the furnace and the chimney and clean it thor­oughly with a stiff wire brush. Il' the pipe is weak or perforated replace it. Before setting it back, seal all leaks at the^lue opening in the chim-l ney with furnace putty. After the] smoke pipe is put in place, carefully seal all connecting joints.Open the chimney cleanout door at the base of the chimney and clean in there. Next, open the furnace clean­out doors and with a wire brush and scraper, clean out all soot from the heating surfaces, gas passages and fire box walla. Then tightly seal the cleanout doors and al! cracks around the doors. You can locate leaks by passing a lighted candle around. If there’s a leak, the flame will be sucked in. Remove ashes from the grates and and check to sec that all grate seg­ ments or sections shake evenly. War­ped or burned grates are wasteful, for they let unused fuel dropjnto the ashpit After checking and adjusting the grates, cover them with a layer of clean ash-about two inches thick.

Pre-election Meet On School Issue A meeting held in Thamesford Dec. 2, to discuss the high school area, one of the most heated elect­ ion issues Ingersoll has seen for many years, attracted unusual inter­ est among rural residents of the townships affected by the area and most of them agreed that a new school was necessary but, as has been the case at so many other meetings, argument arose over the apportionment of costs. H. P. Dunn. North Oxford reeve, claiming that it would mean an 8 mill increase in the North Oxford township rates, spoke against the building of the new collegiate. J. C. Herbert, principal of the school spoke, giving the students’ side of the picture and Grant Sutherland, East Ntfwouri reeve, expressed him­self as in agreement with the need for a new building but felt that the townships were bding expected to pay too much. J. J. McLeod, secre­tary of the area board, said that the townships had been getting their education at cost for many years. The 1950 model Ford and Monarch passenger car lines were introduced in dealer showrooms across Canada December 3. New Fords which have automatic overdrive as an optional feature, are described as incorporating more than 56 improvements over the immediate preceding models. They are offered in twn series, the Custom Deluxe and the lower-priced Deluxe, in a choice of nine colors. Convertibles and station wagons are back in Ford and Monarch lines after an absence of three years. The 1950 Fords retain the basic body lines of the cars which won the New York fashion academy award for 1949, with appearance and functional changes. Interior head room has been incr­eased. Longer sun visors extend right up to the rear view mirror and de­froster slots have been doubled in size to cover more windshield area.Features being introduced on the Monarch cars include a redesigned front grille combined with parking lights; and a completely redesigned instrument panel, deeply recessed to avoid glare reflection upward onto the windshield. Tail lights have the new plastic icnseg for more brilliant lighting. The manufacturers also stress as an important feature, the Monarch’s interior sound proofing, effected by the use of sound-deadening fibre glass insulation in the dash and as a roof pad beneath the steel top. Automatic overdrive, in its second year as a monarch option, reduces engine speed 24 per cent.The Monarch station wagon is all steel throughout, with maple and mahogany panelling, bonded on, and extra bracing at points of stress. • Dad Editor Here Visits Old Haunts A visitor to The Tribune last week was B.

Learning Business Practice Norm Harper announced the Lions’ Ontario the wheels of industry turn for the benefit of every single one of us. Our lathes, dynamos, drill presses, farm combines, tractors, business machines, etc. are producing goods arid 'services which earn dollars. These dollars provide food, clothing, medical care and other necessities which contribute to our security and high standard of living. > Every single one of us, therefore, has a very personal interest in the flow of a steady supply of trained workers to industrial plants. These workers will operate machines which are important to our way of life. We should appreciate, then, the co-operative efforts of government, industry and labour in the field of employee training. In schools and in factories our worker^ young and old, are given the opportunity to develop new and specific skills in every field of business ana industrial activity. For instance, every effort on the part of office workers to become pro- icient in typing, filing, shorthand and secretarial work, will mean jreater business efficiency—will help to make Ontario u finer place in which to live and work.

Griesinger Tells Banquet Tinhoouussaannudss oorf ppeeooppllee wwimll boeenneenfitt j on your work in the same harmori- from toe T.V.A. program, of which the recently completed Thames river project is only a part, Hon. William Griesinger, minister ofplanning and development, told the Chamber of Commerce T.V.A. din­ ner in St. James’ Anglican parish hall, Dec. 1. Following is the text of Mr. Griesinger’s speech: “The people living in the Thames Valley, and particularly those above the city of London, were one of the first groups in Southern Ontario to become interested in conservation in its widest sense. The reason for this was the excessive flooding which had been taking place from time to time in the citv of London, and to a lesser degree at Ingersoll, Wood- stock, St Marys and Mitchell. The situation became so serious after the disastrous floods of 1037 that the people in the upper part of the Thames Valley urged the Ontario Government to pass a flood control act modelled after the one whichhas been enacted GrandRiver. Although this Act was pre­pared and passed by the Legisla- tare, no action was taken on it at the time because the people of the Thames, as well as the whole coun­ try, were giving all their thought to the prosecution of the war. How­ever, in 1944 the question of con­ quering the floods in the valley was again brought to the fore, and after the Department of Planning and Development was established, the conservation survey of the Upper ThamesValley was the first onC un­dertaken by that Department. In October 1946, this report was pre­sented to your group by toe Hon­ ourable Dana Porter, who was the Minister at that time; and on Aug­ust 12, 1947, the people of the valley above London formed a Con­servation Authority. “It is very gratifying to the Government, and especially to my­self, that shortly after the Author­ ity was established it settled down to carry out too recommendations contained in the report, and al­though flood control was the most urgent problem to be solved it did not lose track of the broader fields of conservation which were indi­ cated, such as farm planning, re­forestation, the acquiring of swamp land, and toe necessity of establish­ ing recreational centres. ious spirit.“The Government of Ontario, which I have the honour to repre­sent, is intensely interested in the work of conservation throughout this whole Province. This is shown, I um sure you will agree, by the work that is being done in this re­gard by the organizing of Conser­vation Authorities, which now num­ ber thirteen, Mpth a total area of 10,014 square qiiles, and include 274 municipalities of Southern On­tario. This interest on the part of the Government is also shown by the liberal grants which we have made this year to five Authorities. Furthermore, at toe last session of the Legislature a Select Committee on Conservation was appointed with representatives from all parties to review and report on this important problem. This Committee has been working hard since it was appoint­ed. and I am glad that you have invited the members to be present here as your guests tonight. When this Committee presents its report, which I hope will be at the next sitting of the Legislature, I am sure they will make recommendations to the Government which will make it possible to accelerate even more than at present this important work of conservation in all its phases. “Lastly; Mr. Chairman and gentle­men, and especially members of the Upper Thames Valley Conservation’ Authority, mpy I remind you that work of conservation in your own area is something that cannot be carried out entirely this year or next year, but is a long-term pro­cess and will take many years to complete. The report which my De- bartmnnt has already placed in your hands iis a blueprint which will help to guide you in the right dirgption, and I assure yop that we will always stand ready to give you any assist­ ance possible in this regard.

The development of the machine has meant increased mech­anized and routined occupations that inhibited not only physical activity but also the exercise of creative capacity. For these and other rea­sons, one finds the importance of adequate provisions ; interests which exist in the com­munity.

The work of planning for and carrying out any of these schemes, an^dspec- ially flood control, is a long and alow process, but you men have taken the initial steps in several projects, including flood control for St. Marys, Mitchell and the large dam at Fanshawe. The Fanshawe Dam, it is expected, will not only protect the city of London from disastrous floods but will also augment the water supply of that important urban centre. Further­ more, you have not been satisfied only wth planning for these struct­ ures, but have been proceeding dur­ing the present year with the carry­ing out of a river channel improve­ment and flood control scheme on the South Branch of th«f Thames in the vicinity of Ingersoll. This is the largest and most costly piece of construction which has been • carried out by an Authority up to the present time, and the Authority as a whole, and the Construction Committee in particular, are to be congratulated on the manner in which this channel work has been expedited. “The carrying out of the Ingersoll Project, and the engineering of other projects which I have men­tioned, and the broad views which this Authority has taken on conser­ vation needs in your watershed, are an Indication of the co-operation and fine community spirit which all members, both urban and rural, have infused into the work. The success of any Authority, which as yon know is based on toe water­shed of a river and ia not confined to township or county boundaries, must depend entirely on toe willing­ ness of all contributing municipali­ties to work together and realize that what benefits one part of the watershed, indirectly benefits all the people living in the whole valley. This is sometimes a difficult lesson ; sirable in the community, and he, । for his own reasons, is a strong supporter of plans to increase rec- ;reational opportunities in the com- - munity. Recreation is being increasingly accepted in Canada as a community ' need, paralleling education and em- 1 pioyment in importance. To reeo- 1 -gnize the validity of this statement one needs Snly to note the marked growth in skiing, golfing, baseball, hoekey and camping, to name a few; to note the swelling interest in music, arts and crafts; or to observe the enlarging scope of recreational programs in churches and otherorganizations. Recreation developing andchanging rapidly, so it is natural that there should occasionally be difficulties and imitations. Change invetinbly means some degree of disruption. In addition, when the change comes about in widely vary­ ing circumstances, under quite di­vergent leadership, Inck of under­standing and tensions of relation­ships are to be expected at some points. 9A casual survey would" suggest however, that relationships betweenprivate and public organizations for our people ia the Upper to learn. But here Thames you have UM year* you hope that will carry The Ford Custom Deluxe sedan (upper photo), and the Monarch Sport sedan (lower), are typical of the 1950 models being publicly shown across Canada. Automatic overdrive, which is optional, and 50 other new functional and style features, are incorporated in the Ford line. A completely redesigned instru­ ment panel, deeply recessed to avoid windshield reflection, and special inter­ ior sound-proofing, are introduced in the 1950 Monarchs. Convertibles and station wagons are included & both lines for the new year. working in the field of recreation in Canada have, on the whole,’ been cordial. Some of the inevitable con­ flicts suggested above have arisen, and these will probably increase as public recreation grows, unless there is a clear understanding both on the part of the public and on the part of workers in private and public organizations, of the precise role and function of each agency or or­ganization and of the same clean, pattern of relationship.The purpose of the public recre­ ation program is stated in such terms as wholesome play, health, education for leisure, or other such objectives as will undoubtedly find general acceptance in the commun­ ity. The program is designed to serve all residing in a community regardless of age, sex, religion, race or color. It is a p.ublic service, which cannot, except for special reasons, bar anyone living in the community. As a matter of fact, one of the great values of the public recreation program is its ability to bring together people of all kinds in the community in the same pro­ gram. In moat cases the public pro­gram must be confined to activities for which there ia a large degree of public acceptance. Sports, music, arts and crafts, camping and other such activities constitute the present field at the public program. Volume is an important factor for the public recreation program which must attempt to give basic services (such as playgrounds, ath­letic leagues, opportunitie* to hear good music, etc.), to as many people in the community as possible..The program, is of course, a pub­ lic operation and exists under the jurisdiction and control of the local municipal authority. It is a creation 'of the local government, and its &When champion and challenger met for the century's most skillfull exhibition! to 5 The Canadian Ama- tear Boxing Cham- piamhipi were held this year In Port determine the box­ers who- would rep­resent Canada at the Briliih Empire Games In New Zs&- land next Febmary.

Shotguns are also used at turkey shoots, the winner being the person who can get the greatest number of pellets on the target. Shot-gun shells used to be home-loaded years ago and a favourite trick when load­ ing shells for a shooting match, was to pour melted tallow over the shot pellets before the last wadding was put in. Theoretically, the tallow was supposed to harden and hold the shot together, then when the gun was fired, the shot all hit the target instead of spreading. Sometimes too much tallow was used, and there would be a smell of burning grease and a great cloud of smoke; the shooter’’would be immediately dis­qualified, and was generally more embarrassed nt being found out than by the fact that he had been rheating! Turkey shoots, one e so popular, are becoming a thing of the past, and most participants are members of the older generation. the target that wins the prize.At one time years ago. turkey shoots were an all day ijffair and everyone drove in by horse and buggy from miles around to attend bringing lunch, liquor, grudges and gossip, so generally a wild time was had by all. The turkeys were in crates, and you had to shoot the head off one to win it, a feat which took a crack shot, for the birds pop­ped their heads in and out and moved continuously. One shooter was an expert turkey caller, and when it was his turn to shoot, he would gobble and the turkey would stretch out it’s neck anu head to listen, thereby making a perfectly still and easy target.The rifles used in those days were long-barrelled muzzle-loaders, which necessitated careful measuring of powder and shot. They were, how­ ever, amazingly accurate.

Several times they had to be asked to be moved back as the hundreds at the rear threatened to crush the smaller ones at the front, jt took more than an hour, with a steady stream of youngsters filing past the jovial red-gowned saint for him to meet them all and our guess is that Santa was plenty glad to get back into his sleigh and pull off for the North Pole again.

The Tool Room A and Washers beat the Shipping Room and Grinders respectively for 7 points each while the Shaft Line, who seemed to have snapped out of their stump, defeated the Tool Room B crew 5 to 2.

It was during this game that com­ments were passed regarding the size of shoes worn by "Ten Toes” Hoover, He must have at least ten toes , said someone, else how could he fill such massive chunks of leather.

As a game it was one of the best the local crew have played this season, as they swept in to really play hockey.Beno scored Ingersoll’s first coun­ter at the two minute mark of the second stanza with a hard screen shot from the blue Jine, Garton draw­ing an assist. The second came at 14.25 of that period when Henhawke and Collins combined with Ingeraol short handed to whip through the Brant defense. Brantford’s first goal—and also their first real shot on goal—came at the 17.50 point, Balu scoring from R. Johnson.Ten seconds were all that the locals needed of the third period and Land, assisted by Henhawke, tallied from close in before the Brant line had even settled down. Playing stran­ger hockey, Brantford came back strongly in the middle of the period, tallying their second marker at the II minute mark and three minutes later Land and Henhawke scored the final goal, again from a close-in play. ।The Land, Henhawke, Hamilton’ line were by far the best on the ice1 and Collins played an outstanding game.The teams: Ingersoll— goal, Arn­ ott; defense, Bartram, McKee; cen­tre, Land; wings, Henhawke, Petrie; subs, Barker, Beno, Cussons, Green­ away, Collins, K.

It is to be replaced by a new pro­gram and a new time. “The Lions’ Air Bingo”, is the new program which will be heard over radio sta­tion CKOX. every Tuesday evening from 7.30 to 8.00 o’clock, starting January 3rd. Cliff Hines is chair­ man of the program committee and snys, “The Air Bingo ia a game where everyone can join in. Yon don’t have to have a telephone in your house because you have until noon the next day, when the win­ners are announced, to notify us that you have a bingo.” Cards will be on rale at the same outlets as the LH.F. bricks were, he adds. Within a few days it is hoped to have a letter sent to everyone in in town explaining just how the game is played. Rev. Dr. H. H.

A. Wilson, then asked Hon. William Griesinger. minister of planning and development, to present .the gift to Harold "on be­ half of the citizens of Ingersoll."“We all," said Mr. Griesinger, "wish you the best of luck in your attempts next year.”Accepting the memento, Harold re­plied that a racing driver had to have two things in particular if he was going to get anywhere, and they were good sparkplugs, and a good racing mechanic. • “! have the best sparkplug anyone had, in my dad,” he said, "and the best mechanic I could ever have, in my wife, wha un­fortunately could not be with us to­ night."Mr. Stone said "tonight we have with us two gcnttlemen of whom Ingersoll i8 very proud—two men who have done a lot in putting the name of Ingersoll on the map thr­oughout the world. They are our gnod friends, E. A. Wilson and Harold Wilson."“I understand that Harold first got the “bug" for boat racing in 1927 when he saw a lot of boat racing in the Muskoka lakes. So he purchased his first in-board run-about known as the Flamingo, which had a tremen­dous speed of 15 miles per hour. Then shortly after that he purchased his second boat which had a speed of 18 miles an hour with which he started racing."Then came the little Miss Can­ ada’s, of which I understand there were six. With these he captured, among other things the world’s 225 title. Of course, in those days these honors of winning races were not shared alone. With Harold, was his wife,, the former Lorna Reid, who rode as his chief mechanic. And, you can understand, she was responsible for a lot -of his success at that time."In 1939, with Miss Canada II, he won the President’s Cup raee at Wash- ington, and also the 12-litre champ­ionship of the world. He also won the Silver Cup but never quite made the Gold Cup which I understand is tops of all racing in North America. “With Mis* Canada III in 1948 he set a new Gold Cup record of 119.08 miles per hour.“Then In 1949, Harold decided to take tlje big jump by putting the most powerful engine available into a bigger hull, and he challenged for the Harmsworth Trophy., "He failed in his challenge and another try for the Harmsworth Trophy next year fin California.

Half Of Fires Are Needless Every minute of the day fire strikes somebody’s home. Half of these could be prevented, and whether your horde ia next depends on the precautions you take. Here are four things which will make your home fire-safe: First, cheek the danger spots where fire may start; second, have fire-fighting equipment handy, sand bucket in the garage and extinguisher in the kit­ chen; third, fire-retard the basement; and fourth, install-a device to warn you the minute a fire starts. Alarms can be bought for from five to 20 dollars.Defective heating planta cause most fires. A yearly check-up of the complete system—furnace to chimney —is essential for safety.Another potential fire hazard is your electrical equipment. Constant watch should be made for deteriora­tion of wiring and flexible appliance cords. In older houses have the wiring inspected by a licensed electrician and necessary changes made promp­ tly. Never overfuae any electric line.Another frequent cause, of fire is spontaneous ecmbusttOn. The only protective remedy is to clean out ac­cumulated jtmk and rubbish from basement to attic. Since the majority of home fires start in the basement, it should be fire-retarded; A plaster-board cellar ceiling would hold back a fire long enough for a family to escape and for firemen to save the rest of the house. Also have a fireproof door at the top of the cellar stairway.Careless personal habits cause a good share of Fires. Use of gasoline or other inflammables for cleaning clothing, leaving matches where child­ren may reach them, open fireplaces without fire screens and that old bugaboo, Choking in bed, art^all dangerous. Then. Wednesday afternoon, Billy came homa happy once again. Right up by the hospital Billy had been looking and suddenly, there the pup was. Hungry, lonely, and only too ready to find Billy too. Now the pup is back at home and Billy is keeping him right in sight as he walks around with the new collar that Billy saved up for. And if you want a small wager, we'll bet that now, wherever the pup goes Billy goes, too. ST. JAMES' GUILD PLAN YULE PARTY The St James' Evening Guild met in the parsh hall Nov. 29.

Keep The Cold Out And The Heat In Most home-owners have never heard of caulking except possibly in con­nection with boats. Caulking a house makes it weatherproof, just as it makes a ship waterproof.When a house shrinks or warps, cracks open up around frames. This not only allows cold air to enter the house but water m^y find its way Inside, too, and cause considerable damage to wallpaper, planter and woodwork. Such cracks should be sealed with caulking compound. Fall is the best time for the job, because the shrinking is the greatest.Wherever window frames and door­ ways are set in the outside walls, or there is any break in the surface, the Joints or cracks between the fra­mes and walls should be filled with a caulking compound. No amount of putty will replace the caulking com­pound because both paint and putty will dry, and become brittle. Elasti­ city is very important for this appli­cation.Caulking compound can be applied with a caulking gun, which may be purchased at your local hardware or paint atpre, or with a putty knife. The gun is preferable because it is equipped with various sized nozzles so you can force the compound into the various sized cracks. Be sure you use the proper grade of compound— gun grade for use with a gun, or the heavier putty grade with a putty knife.All dust or loose particles should be brushed or blown out of the cracks, so that the compound adheres to the two solid sides of the crack. The com­pound should be applied so that Is fills the crack flush with the sur­rounding, surface. There is nothing gained^y having a deep bead or mound m material on the surface of ths crack, and it given a poor appear* ance to the job. ing the tops from the whence the wind comes. quarter Light asrapidly as possible every brush heap, or row of tree tops. If they catch readily, and burn well, you can miss a wide portion on your re­turn across the fallow with the burning brands. When all is going on welt, you may go to the wind­ ward side and fire the whole line of brush. The entire clearing should be one blazing mass by 11 o'clock in the morning, and before the dews of night fall, there will be a clean sweep made of all the brush, the tree tops, and many of the smaller logs, long lanes of smoking ashes attesting the thoroughness of the work.

One early account of the art ofchopping says noted that a that is oftensmall man, possessing apparently but little strength, will often chop twice as much as a burly, powerful fellow who hasn’t got the hang of it" An early writer said it la "difficult to prescribe rules for handling the axe properly. An easy swing obtain­ed by straightening the hack at every stroke, and throwing the axe well np into the air; a straight aim; firm grasp of the handle hilt in one hand, and quick, free motion with the other; perfect elasticity in the arms, and the avoidance of al! stiff,rigid movements—these the chief requirements. But, after all, there is a certain knack which only intuitive perception and intelligent practice, can give.” Chopping—used in the sense of clearing land for cultivation, with the trees being burned—was then, as it is now, a winter job. Work was scarce during the winter months, especially in the newer, sec­tions of the country, and by proper management, what was chopped in winter could be readied for a crop during the following summer or fall, and sometimes that spring. Land to be cleared was usually stripped of underbrush the previous I fall, and sapling and smaller trees under six inches in diameter, were cut close to the ground so larger trees cut down during the winter could be moved to targe piles. ■Said the writer, quoted above, "It is a very slovenly, awkward affair, to have a lot of little stumps bristling up in a clearing after the burning off is done. In the primi­tive woods, most of the trees stand on the part of the trees, and more distinctly perhaps, by the inclination of the tops. "In commencing a piece of chop­ ping, the largest and most unman­ageable tree, say a great Water Elm or Oak, should be felled first, and if the prevailing wind be from the northwest, the tree should be made, if possible, to fall toward the southwest. Then by carefully cutting the rest of the trees within reach of the elm or oak, they will all fall with their tops on the first tree felled—the trunks forming various angles with the first tree chopped down. As each tree is felled, the branches should be all cut off so as to form a compact mass. Where the timber is thick, these heaps will be nearly, if not quite, close enough to walk overthrough the fallow.*’extent of the When the time for burning came in the spring, the fire was started from the direction the wind blew and normally would roar through the whole clearing, burning all the branches, all but the largest trunks, and even burning off the tops of the stumps left in the ground.In order to ensure that trees would fall as desired, springpoleswere often used. The springpole was a light, tough tree trunk, about 25 feet long, with a strong, sharp spike in the small end. It was placed on tile side of the tree opposite the direction of fall, the spike driven in­to the tree about 20 feet from the ground, and the bottom end jerked 11 toward the stump of the tree. A 1 small rope was attached about half - way up the pole and fastened around the stump below the place where it was being ciit off. By doing this tightly, the pole would bend, and ail its. elasticity contribu­ted toward forcing the tree to fall; in the desired direction. . ‘’Next morning, as you survey i the smoldering ruins, you will won­ der at the extent of the destruction affected."The settler then began raking the ashes into piles for the making of potash. The piles were left high as possible to protect the ashes from rain, and to hum up as many unburnt bite of wood as possible. This was done, of course, before the fire was completely out. It is difficult today to visualize the scene—the pioneer, his whole body covered with ashes, sweating his way through the blackened clearing, his heavy boots uncomfort­ably warm, and t^e piles of debris filling his lungs with acrid, smoke. All around him rose the blackened stumps of the magnificent trees he ruthlessly destroyed to have land for his crops. And ringing the clearing, rose still more giants of the forest, the outer ones scorched from the burning of the previous day, the rest tall and stately. Their turn came eventually.The ashes were later hauled out by oxen, in wagons, and such was th^ condition of the land that one man was usually needed to clear a road for the oxen to the spot where the ashes were to be leached for potash—the pioneer's main, and sometimes only, cash crop.Then came the final stage— aside from stumping—of clearing the land. Those legs not burned in the first great fire across the land, were hauled into huge piles and again set afire. This was usually done with ’ the help of neighbors— a logging bee. Adjacent settlers with their teams moved onto the blackened land, 'and hauled the logs into piles. These wore again set afire, and burned for days and weeks.With the log heaps gone, only the stumps remained to clutter the ground.

Plow Highwaymen Battle Winter From out of the leaden sky a tiny snowflake floats and falls softly up­ on the countryside. Other* feUs-jj in its wake, drifting silently in the gentle breeze to alight upon the tree-tops and the hills and valleys, and upon the highway stretching ribbonlike into the distance. The wind freshens and the snow­ flakes drift no more, but tumble down, in a steady parade. Over the countryside is spread a blanket of white, and out on the highways headlights and windshield wipers are turned on to retain visibility. The wind, now shifting into the north­ west, increases steadily in velocity. More and more snowflakes join the hurrying p'arade, now a mad race to reach the ground. Headlights fail to pierce the enveloping curtain and traffic slows down. KJjig Winter is on the rampage.In the Department of Highway* Division offices the maintenance en­gineers, responsible for keeping the highways open, forewarned by fore­casts of approaching unfavourable weather, are marshalling their for­ ces for the onslaught against the storm. Already their mechanized snow-fighting equipment has taken its place out on the highways to throw back the storm before its force becomes irresistable. And now to the division offices comes mess­ages from the battlefront; bulletins from the patrolmen reporting pro­gress of the battle. Here the storm is being held in check, there the efforts of the plows are meeting, little success. Equipment is moved from less troublesome ureas to sec­tions where difficulty is being en­ countered. A detailed report of weather and highway conditions is prepared in each division and tele­graphed to Head Office where a composite picture of the entire high- wav system is compiled and relayed to motor leagues, bus and transport operators, radio stations and the press. And listening to your evening radio newscast you hear: “The De­ partment of Highways reports a bliz- zard blowing with heavy drifting on most highways." By every means of communication motorists are ad­ vised to stay off the highways. Most do. But not ail. Buses and transports have schedules to maintain. Doctors must set out into the storm to reach their patients. And the thousands of motorists caught out on the high­ways when the storm "broke must be enabled to reach their destin­ ations. For these, and others, the highways must be kept open. Traffic must go through., Throughout the night the storm rages unabated; the temperature steadily drops, the shrieking gale gathers unto itself the Snow and hurls it in a fury along the ground. And into this maelstrom forge the snowplows,, fighting their way into, and through, mountainous drifts and hurling the snow aside. For hours on end it is a losing battle for man is still unable to control the elements, but finally the wind wanes and slowly but surely the on­ slaught of King Winter is thrown back.

The T.V.A. haa been concentrat­ing on one mill dam at Harring­ton, between Embro and St. Marys on Trout Creek, which is crumbling and could be rehabilitated by the authority as a flood control meas­ure with surrounding parklands.
